Katy, thanks for the compliment! As far as whole-group Friday reward activities, I try to keep it varied. Pictionary and charades are always favorites. Telephone Pictionary works particularly well, because everyone is drawing/writing at the same time. For a more active game, we've played mega pick-up sticks. (Same idea as pick-up sticks, but big enough for everyone to join in by using the cardboard tubes from wrapping paper rolls.) If the weather is nice outside, we use colored chalk to create a class sidewalk mural. These are just some of the things I've tried in the past.
